Help Earthquake Survivors in Myanmar

Hi, I’m Tanika Anderson and from 2016 to 2020 I ran a social enterprise called You & Mei - an ethical clothing label that supported a group of young women in Mandalay, Myanmar by providing access to income, education, healthcare, and food. Since then, these incredible women have built their own workshop creating clothing for their local community and supporting their families independently.

On March 31st, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar with thousands of lives lost. The township surrounding the You & Mei workshop has been severely impacted - homes destroyed, no access to clean water, food, income, or medical aid. Many are injured and in urgent need of medical attention. Families within the community are now without basic supplies or shelter. They have nowhere to store food or water and no way to earn a living.

The economy has completely collapsed, and getting aid into Myanmar is incredibly difficult due to political instability. This is the fastest and most direct way to support this specific community.

How Your Support Can Make an Impact:

Funds will be distributed by staff on the ground who have supported the You & Mei workshop and its wider community for years. Most families were living on only a few dollars a day before the earthquake and now they have nothing. So every single dollar really does make a difference.

This fundraiser is not through a charity; it is a community support initiative to provide assistance in the most direct way possible. I’ll be sharing updates so you can see exactly how your contribution is making a difference.

Please donate or share if you’re able - every contribution, big or small, truly helps.

With love and gratitude,

Tanika Anderson
